Father-Son 1974 Duster Project
Ok boys and girls, something told me to call the manufacturer of the aftermarket Kframe after staring at a photo of the thing and didn’t see mountings for a steering box. Two different tech guys from Jegs and Cass (Dr Diff) were positive it was designed for use with with standard suspension and steering. NOT! Turns out you need to use coil over springs and rack and pinion steering.
There is another unit by another manufacturer that uses torsion bars and standard control arms but it’s nearly twice the price. Too rich for my blood and I’m very happy that I kept the car very stockish and originalish.
Turns out that fellow member @1973dust had a K for sale and got it boxed and over to UPS yesterday. It’s sitting at Newark airport now waiting to come to me tomorrow.
